Nvidia board courts Arm CEO Haas as potential Huang successor

reuters.com [$] —

Nvidia's board has approached Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas as a potential successor to Jensen Huang, who resigned Thursday amid revelations of extramarital affairs involving a suspected Chinese spy, according to the Financial Times. Haas spent seven years at Nvidia before joining Arm in 2013 and became its CEO in 2022, overseeing its Nasdaq listing. He is one of several candidates, with no guarantee of an offer, while CFO Colette Kress serves as interim CEO. Analysts also consider veteran engineer Ian Buck a top candidate for his work on CUDA, while former Apple chief Tim Cook was floated by President Donald Trump. The next CEO may shift from Huang's hands-on leadership style.
